Privacy
See Table 1. Security and Access Controls in DoD Web Policy
DoD Web Policies and Procedures of November 25, 1998, with Amendments and Corrections, dictates that sensitive information, such as that marked "For Official Use Only," be protected by access control using hardware or software Public Key Infrastructure, or PKI, and transmission control using encrypted text. Restricting access to .gov or .mil sites only limits who can access the data on your computer. If that data is not encrypted, it might be harvested by interested parties as it travels over the Internet. Significant laws pertaining to the area of monitoring include the Fourth Amendment and the Wiretap Statute. These laws and the case law interpreting both have established a framework addressing the right of privacy, which might be abridged by monitoring. Now we’ll discuss a few concepts with which you may not be familiar.
